Description Uh oh! In the next installation of my Meitantei Holmes fanfic "His Ardor" (first three or four parts are up at FF.net under same username), a few days following a fierce quarrel between Marie Hudson and Professor Moriarty (in which she is appalled that he is not sorry for a crime against the London Air Post that symbolically spat on her late husband's good name--that he considers the crime purely "business"), ol' ProMo shows up rather brashly at Holmes's and Watson's (and Mrs. Hudson's) abode to discuss a mutual case against Jack the Ripper. Things don't go well; Holmes gets stoned on cocaine and Moriarty gets roaring drunk (much to the pragmatic, health-conscious Dr. Watson's disgust), and Mrs. Hudson, appalled by Moriarty's rudeness, actually kicks him out of her boarding house!

(Told ya she wouldn't ALWAYS be forgiving to him, Ethel )

Does this mean the end of their romance? Well. I can't really say without spoiling the rest of my story, so *sticks tongue out at viewer* nyeh! ^_^

Bad ProMo, no treat for you! *smacks him with a rolled up newspaper* Sorry, I always wanted to do that.

Uh-oh, it looks like the romance is finito, but I hope not, those two are so cute together.

Oh, and I'm finally getting to THIS one, too. Poor Mori-Kun! Nope, I'm not entirely sure of the nuances, except he does seem to be kind of leering at her. Man, is she PO'd!!!

Nice work, as always!

(My mind is often wherever yours is, lol. No worries). K. Since no one really commented, his finger is going towards her but not quite brave enough to actually commit to touching her. He knows he's wrong but isn't brave enough to admit it in order to be able to be with her (or maybe it's his hubris, heh). She on the other hand is boldly and decisively turned against him as she shouts. Body language is invaluable--it must be employed in any character-driven pictures, even cartoons. It tells the story without words. You wouldn't even need to see their faces to read what I just said.

I noticed that "finger" thing, but wasn't exactly sure what was going on. Though Marie's stance certainly says it all! Again, nice work!

Oh, forgot to add: you were right; she WON'T always be forgiving of him.

You might not say that when you see how he behaves But...meh, what am I saying? You probably will.

I should be able to submit it to FF.net by early next week My new laptop has FINALLY been repaired!

Oh yeah--pay close attention to body language here. Be Holmes and observe the little *nuances,* and tell me what you think I'm trying to convey.
